Amazing that this place still has customers. BP that complaints site is a very good one. Thx for the link.

dyginge,
     The food that was recalled was dry food not canned, so it is probably okay as far as the reason for the recall.  However, there are many people who, just on principal because of the past problems of this company, do not like this brand.  If you are feeding it successfully, it is your decision whether to continue.  Despite the negative reputation, there are probably thousands of people who have no problem with it.

Thanks for the replies, Mandycat and Sandi.  I have decided not to feed Goose this.  Actually I should not have purchased it in the first place, I was "desperate" to try a food that might help Goose gain some weight.  I've decided to try Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance® L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets, as Goose "may have" inflammatory bowel disease and I did see a testamonial by someone whose cat also has IBD and has gained weight, which is what I want for Goose.
